Extra info:
If you go to http://vanka.magicservices.nl/?s=ketjap%20gekruid&post_type=product Woocommerce will show you 3 products in a correct lay-out.
If you search voor ‘Ketjap Gekruid’ on page http://vanka.magicservices.nl/producten2/ your plugin is using woocommerce/archive-product.php but the layout is different: the products are not listed next to each other. The URL is then: http://vanka.magicservices.nl/producten/?s=Ketjap%20gekruid
Please help, I’m running out of time on a strict deadline for next friday afternoon.
Best regards, Janno

Hi Ross,
back from holidays I updated the plugin and tested the integration. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, please help me with the correct way to use your plugin.
I created a new page, inserted the [searchandfilter id=”2726″]. In Settings I selected ‘As an archive page’, ‘Use a custom template for results’ and entered the filename: /woocommerce/archive-product.php
Under Ajax: I checked Load results using Ajax.
Search is working. However, my lay-out is not consistent with the Woocommerce output of the search results.
What must I do to get them the same?
Best regards, Janno

Hi Ross,
Sorry for the big big delay.
I use version 1.4 on a test site, made some adjustments but still no luck.
Maybe you can put me in the right direction?
I have the following page: http://bws.newfishdev.nl/shop/ (images are removed)
The first product (Joe Snyder Maxi Bulge Bikini Turquoise) has the following attributes
Small: 1x
Medium: out of stock
Large: 1x
X-Large: 1x
When I check the size “medium” on the left side, the product still appear on the right side.
Could you please tell me what I’m doing wrong ?
Thx

Hi, believe I’ve almost got Search & Filter Pro working properly but have two problems with display results and could use your assistance. (More than happy to get on the phone and do paid support if my questions are out of scope for this forum.) My current settings are as follows: display results as an archive page = true; use a custom template = true; woocommerce/filter-plays.php is the template (which is a straight copy of archive-product.php); load results using Ajax = true. Two problems as follows:
1) I have a custom meta dropdown for Genre. When a genre is selected, results filter correctly, but when you deselect back to “All Genres” nothing happens. In your Demo 2, I can see parameters updating in the URL as filters are applied and so that “All Product Categories” returns products to default state of all visible.
For some reason my URL remains the same no matter what’s selected: http://test.broadwayplaypub.dev/the-plays/
And so I just can’t seem to replicate the desired result that Demo 2 displays. Can you advise me on what I’m doing wrong?
2) One of my products (a play) is named “Darlene & The Guest Lecturer.” The filter refuses to recognize this product, and I’m guessing it’s because the ampersand character is not escaped somehow in the code, right? If that’s the problem, I’d like to request that you escape common special characters in the next iteration of the plugin. Especially ampersands as Search & Filter Pro would not be able to find itself in results right now. 🙂
Looking forward to your response, and thanks for making such a cool plugin.
Best,
Michael
Hey Jay
There are a couple of steps in general to follow…
1) Update to the latest version of S&F pro (1.4.0)
2) copy the woocommerce templates in to your theme folder – http://docs.woothemes.com/document/template-structure/
3) in S&F – under “display results” click “as archive”
4) tick “use custom template” – then you need to specify the template file to use – the is normally woocommerce/product-archive.php
Just to let you know, there will now be limited support until the new year due to holidays.
Thanks

Hi Ross, just to keep you updated: Tomorrow I’ll test the new plugin on my product search page. I saw new options that could do the job.
Have a nice day, Janno

Hi Ross, I do use the shortcodes. But I’ll try the update first and let you know if I’m still having trouble getting the Woocommerce template to work.
Best regards, Janno

Im trying to create a navigation menu for woocommerce product categories using search & filter pro which will maintain the same template as my theme similar to the screenshots shown on this website. Can you please tell me how i could achieve this.
Hey Janno – please update to the latest version – the way you are modifying teh template is for when using a shortcode, but it doesn’t seem like this is what you are doing…
The latest version has some UI fixes which should make things clearer – if you’re still having problems let me know.
Thanks

Dear support,
I have a working WooCommerce setup filled with products. It took me a while to get all the styling done. However Woocommerce is limited in search capabilities so that’s the reason why I bought search and filter Pro.
As far as I understood i should deselect Ajax and use a page template. Mine is (relative to the theme directory) /woocommerce/archive-product.php. I think it cannot find it because it sticks to the default results.php which is located in {themedir}/search-filter/results.php.
What am I doing wrong?
